    The Wimbledon programme avoided any mention of who their opponents were in this match ( at least on the front cover )

      Great 94th minute equaliser from Joao, on loan from Owls to Blackburn, to keep us in the top 6, above Fulham. Next up the six pointer vs Reading on Friday. anton, Jones seems to be shaping up the Hangers!

        Thanks Zola, good to know that we were able to make our point stylishly but with dignity. Would love to know what happened in the boardroom -- I believe there are FA rules about providing food and drink for visiting club representatives (and match officials) but I don't think they say you have to actually speak to them while they're tucking in!

            Another amazing European night full of secondhalf drama, with Leicester playing pretty much how they did in their Premiership winning season - compact, pressing, counterattacking sharply.
            Shame about Vardy's Suarezian response to Nasri's friendly little Kirkby Kiss, but as Barney Ronay put it - "Vardy was a rabidly hungry hound, a scrabbling scoundrel of a mutt"
            He kept skying his chances, but he was a fiercely driving, wrecking force.

            Escudero's thunderous 30-yarder came back off the bar-underside, and 10-man Sevilla put Foxes under some pressure in the latter stages with their intricate passing movements around the box; but they missed clearcut chances as well as that very poor penalty. Foxes had to defend well and they did, with great resilience and determination. Very well done!
            Hopefully they can avoid the big three in the quarters.
            Leicester have told an extraordinary tale over these two seasons and are still telling it. Who knows how this chapter will end....?

              MK Dons boss Robbie Neilson thanks chairman Pete Winkelman, who stood with away fans during the game at AFC Wimbledon.

                  Great result for the Buddies tonight against the Arabs. Still need a good few more points but the Saints are looking like a form team in the division just now, so let's hope.
                  Wonder what odds you'd have got on Foxes being the last English team left in the Champs League. Who do you fancy for the quarters, Alison?

                    I'd rather like Monaco I think to prove we could better Man C !

                    Fine fine result for your lot.

                      Once again, most of the country will be behind Leicester.

                        Three weeks after most of the country wanted them to be relegated as punishment for their treatment of Ranieri ?

                          I thought you'd be too concerned about the form of Birmingham!

                            Sadly, there are many examples of great players who made useless managers ! Too nice for the job ?
